i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Alumni: lAnAS, ciiizen of the United States, and a resident the city of New Y0rk,'bor0ugh of Man tan, in the county and State of N w York, have invented a new and useful impro ment in Voter-Elevators, of which the lowing is a full, clear, and exact l8ECTipiimL The purpose of the invention is to inipr vc upon a construction for water .t 1L granted to me Ociohcr i907, Lo. 2353. so as to adapt the some to various conditions and circumstances under wnich it. has oom found that a double spira lscrcrr can he s1 one fully employed, the said im grovcnici lating particularly to tho construction of tho body of the device and the aforesaid don olo spiral screw, rwd the det ls of construction nrgo portions of the device.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of thc savers! parts, zis will be hereinafter fully "forth and pointed out in the claims.

ed to turn therewith. This screw extends up ance thereto. A flange 22 is made to engage itlnthe flange 13 at the bottom of the said cylinder B, and this flange 22 is of ring-like construction corresponding to the flange 15 at the top. and from the flange 22 a yoke 2% extends downward, and the two flanges 22 and 13" are connected by bolts 23, or their equivalents. A spindle 25 is made integral with or is attached to the lower central portion of the lower yoke 24. and this spindle 25 is adapted to turn in a suitable bearing 245 located at thebottoni of the container of the liquid. or at any desired point between the top and the bottom of said container.

A double spiral screw C is located Within the cylinder or tubular body B, being adaptto the upper end portion of the cylinder or tubular body B. and to the bottom portion thereof. the said cylinder being open at its top and at its bottom. and at the lower end oi the screw C a spindle 27 is secured, and this spindle has bearing in the bottom portion of the yoke 24. and serves as the principal support for the said double spiral screw C in the said cylinder. as is clearly shown in Fig. 1. The side members of the lower yoke 24 have their diagonal'opposite edges sharpened to agreater or lesser degree. as shown at 28 in Fig. 4, so that the cylinder B revolves the said yoke 24 will o'liter but little resistai'ice to the water that is drawn up by the screw (l.

The cylinder or tubular body B and the spiral sciew C are usually constructed in one or more sections. the sections oi the cylinder being of eorrespoi'uling length to those ol lllt screw, and the double spiral screw C may be given any desired pitch. The cvlinder ll is provided with an interior spiral support tor the edges of the double spiral screw. which support also acts in the capacity of a guide and is auxiliary to the aforesaid lowcr' support 27. This interior spiral support may be constructed in different ways. accomplishing" the same result.

In the construction of the cylinder 13 shown in Figs. 1 and 5, an internal double groove 2t) is product-d corresponding to the pitch of the screw (1. the said groove recciving the edge of the said screw. and the said groove may be formed by a chuck. or cast in the cylinder. or be pioduced by any other process in such manner that there shall be a corresponding spiral bead on the outside ol the cylinder or tubular body, thus producing practically an even thickness of material and avoidinq any weakening of the cylinder or tubular body l3 along the line oi the groove. The cylinder or tubular body l may also be constructed as shown in b and 7, wherein the cylinder in one piece. or in sections, is constructed of two stri :)l and -32 oi sheet metal. or other suit i material, carried spirally around connnon center so as to form the required cylindrical i l i l l l scene 1 body, the lower edge 33 always overlapping the upper edge 34' of the other strip in such manner that the upper edge is always on the inside of the cylinder or tubular body ll, thereby forming a shoulder upon and against which the edges of the double spiral screw C-rest. the double spiral screw being of the same pitch as the said continuous shoulders formed within the cylinder. The overlapping edges of the strips 31 and 32 forming the cylinder B are secured together by rivets 35, but'they may be welded or connected in any suitable manner.

A guide and support for the double spiral screw C may also be provided in the manner shown in Fig. 9, wherein two continuous spiral ribs P6 and an arc eithe attached to or are integral with the inner face of the said tubular body. which ribs may be rectangular. triangular, or may be given any other cross sectional shape.

- shown. when the cylinder or tubular body B is of suflicient thicki'iess. as for example in small structures. two continuous spiral grooves 37 and 37* may be interiorly produced. the interior of the cylinder remaining plain. as illustrated in Fin. R. In each of the constructions above referred to the double spiral screw tits fairly close into the ,LTOOYtn. or upon the shoulders or oli'scts produced in the interior of the cylinder. and the screw placed in position by being introduced at one end of the cylinder and then driven in after the manner of an ordinary screw.

Apart from the combination of the double spiral screw and the cylinder or tubular body above described. the method of connecting the screw and the cylinder in closing it may be still lurther varied. as in the construction olvaater or liquid elevators oi such large dinnrnsions'as may be required lOO lUG

for extensive water works draina 'e and ii'- ligation works. etc.' Thus the cylinder designated as A in Figs. 10 and 11. may be made in two sections 38, and the double spiral screw therefor designated as is also in two sections 39 integral with the corresponding sectious'ot the cylinder. in completin sin-l a. body portion 01 the elevator, the sections are brought together and are secured by bolts or their erpiivalents, passed through apcrtured lugs constituting integral portions o'l.the cylinder, and each section is provided will. plain, ribbed, or rounded surface 40 and correspoinlingly grooved surface. i assembling the sections conic toya rest against. the edge of an opposing ection and thus lit to or into them, the projections from one section enteringthe grooves in the other section.

The. sections just described, and the sections shown in Figs. and 13, can be readily made of iron, steel, or other metal. in Figs.
